1 Description of Service

PedalMatch provides a free, interactive quiz designed to help users find electric bicycles (e-bikes) that match their individual needs, preferences, and budget. Our Service includes:

• An interactive questionnaire about your riding habits and preferences
• Personalized e-bike recommendations based on your responses
• Product information and links to third-party retailer websites
• Optional email functionality to save and receive your results

PedalMatch is an independent recommendation service. We are not a retailer and do not sell e-bikes directly. When you click on product links, you will be directed to third-party websites where you may complete purchases. Those transactions are governed by the terms and policies of those third-party retailers.

4 Recommendations and Product Information

While we strive to provide accurate and helpful recommendations:

• No Guarantees: We do not guarantee that our recommendations will perfectly match your needs. Individual preferences and circumstances vary, and the "best" e-bike depends on many factors we cannot fully assess through a quiz.
• Product Accuracy: Product specifications, pricing, availability, and other details are provided by third-party sources and may change without notice. We make reasonable efforts to keep information current but cannot guarantee accuracy.
• Third-Party Products: We are not responsible for the quality, safety, or performance of any products recommended. Any issues with products should be directed to the manufacturer or retailer.
• Pricing: Prices displayed are estimates and may differ from actual prices on retailer websites. We are not responsible for pricing errors or price changes.
